Integrating cryobanks into conservation frameworks: The case of boreal caribou in Ontario

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation cryobanks are a powerful but underutilized complement to conventional recovery strategies such as habitat protection and population monitoring. Here, we present a transferable, stepwise framework for integrating cryobanking into formal species recovery plans, including guidance on population prioritization, partner engagement, and the ...

Morphofunctional effects of captivity on the microanatomy of the talus bone in a wild ungulate (Sus scrofa)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our study explores the plastic changes induced by captivity on the microanatomy of the talus of wild boars, revealing denser bone with tighter trabecular networks but a lower relative maximum thickness of compact bone. These plastic adaptations can serve to detect early processes of domestication in the archaeological record.
